A better analogy would be a Jet engine that has an expected lifetime of 5,000 hours, but operated for 100,000 hours caught fire on the tarmac while no passengers were aboard. Therefore all flights from all aircraft with the engine are grounded indefinitely.
Even by the FAA’s standards for passenger aircraft (Not an experimental Rocket) that’s incredibly unlikely.

Therefore all flights from all aircraft with the engine are grounded indefinitely If the airline attempted to take off with it, yes, that merits a grounding.
